ohmelads Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 While there are many people jumping to conclusions after one weekend of matches, I reckon this game tonight could be a good yardstick by which to judge two teams who I feel could be close rivals of ours this season. Am I alone in hoping that Everton take all 3 points and leave Spurs asking questions of themselves? In terms of the resources at their disposal I think they're a bigger threat than Everton although I think Everton look a lot more organised and solid defensively. Should be an interesting game.

Lenny Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Want Everton to win, but I reckon Spurs will do them 2-1 after a kick up the arse from Sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I want a draw. Two points dropped for both sides, and NUFC still topof the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon55544 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I think Everton will suprise a few people this season, If they get a striker in i think they have just a good chance to finish 4th. If i remember correctly didnt Everton beat Spurs at WHL 1-0 i think it was, Johnson goal and Everton ended up with 10 men. I'd be happy with the same result Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hate both sides and want them both to rot and burn. I think Everton could turn them over BUT Spurs will be out to prove a point after the mackems. 1-1 Berbatov and Johnson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think home advantage will give Spurs a narrow 2-1 win. Spurs need to win otherwise they will be piling more pressure on themselves, The whole spurs team have been tipping themselves for 4th which imo is a very bad thing to do because they are inviting pressure on themselves, Spurs fans aint that patient either so things could get interesting if Everton score early.

ElDiablo Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Think Spurs will win, Bent to get his first goal, Berbatov also. 2-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vigge Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 This is a draw, or Everton might demolish Spurs midfield, score two quick on the fly and then shutdown and counterattack. Spurs wont win this game IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts? Totally agree, am making sure i get to watch this as it will be interesting to see how they both set about the game after the weekends results. Being the home side and having lost, you'd expect Spurs to come at them. Which may leave some gaps for Everton to exploit on the break. Going to be a good game i think, Jol will have spurs on the front foot from the start. I'd be happy to see a draw tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Triglett Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from tonight's game. Again, because it's so early in the season, but also because Everton are our whipping boys. I remember we put 5 past them the season they finished 4th , and last year's win at WHL was their first in 15 attempts. Seems as if Bent's coming in for Tainio, so Keane will probably drop back and play behind the front two. Looks nice on paper, and it's worked ever so occasionally when we're chasing games, but I'm not a fan at all. Would rather play Taarabt or Malbranque in their specialist positions rather than find a way to accomodate Keane, although he also has a fantastic record against Everton.

Tisd09 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I would like to see a draw. Further dropped points for Spurs would be a big knock of their confidence. Especially considering how high it has been over the summer pretty much thinking they are guarenteed 4th spot. If Everton keep they players fit they could be hell of a force this season would be a lot more worried if they signed someone like Yakubu. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 I am going to watch it, hoping for a draw with alot of goals, then again its Tottenham vs Everton so something in the line of a 1-1 draw seems reasonable. Got Arteta and Berbatov in my fantasy team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
